TRANSLATION

After this, Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya said, "My Lord, there are ten sannyasis with You."

PURPORT

A sannyasi should not cook food for himself or accept an invitation to eat at a devotee's house continuously for many days. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu was very kind and affectionate toward His devotees, yet He would not accept a long invitation at Sarvabhauma's house. Out of affection, He accepted only five days in the month. The ten sannyasis living with the Lord were (1) Paramananda Puri, (2) Svarupa Damodara, (3) Brahmananda Puri, (4) Brahmananda Bharati, (5) Vishnu Puri, (6) Kesava Puri, (7) Krishnananda Puri, (8) Nrisimha Tirtha, (9) Sukhananda Puri and (10) Satyananda Bharati.
